I seem to recall having _had_ the capability of resuming an

I'm currently using SeaMonkey 2.26.1 under WinXP Pro SP3.
What can I do *WITHOUT* moving to a later release?
TIA
If a download is interrupted, I generally start over without trying to
resume. I am never sure that resuming will work correctly. This
applies not only to SeaMonkey downloads but also to FTP downloads.
I might make an exception if I have a hash code for the file. In this
case, I can resume the download and then check the file's integrity.
Even MD5 or SHA1 hashes are acceptable for this because my concern is
whether the file downloaded without losing or scrambling any Internet
packets, not whether someone substituted a malware file.
Thanks for reminder about hashes. I download large files at local
library, will verify hash before leaving library.
